Did you know

The World May Never Know was named after a song by American rock group Dr. Dog.

On January 31st at Phu-Uthai, Muak Lek in Saraburi, a grassy knoll was transformed into an open air live music venue for the small but unforgettable Keep on the Grass folk music festival.

Organised by The World May Never Know team that was also behind the Stone Free Music Festival and Psych-Out, the third Keep on the Grass festival featured performances by many celebrated indie artists including Into the Air, Death of a Salesman, Goose, Zweed N’ Roll, Two Million Thanks, Noppakornlertlak, Ben Edwards, Gardener Twins, Flower Dog and many more. The performers played mostly acoustic versions of their music under the cool night sky.

Student Weekly went along to this year’s Keep on the Grass and asked some of the festival staff to share some photos of the memorable event.

The festival’s main stage is set up at the bottom of a grassy hill.

Folk song crooner Ananta is the first performer on the Grass Stage.

Goose play their first show in almost 10 years at the festival.
